5  Tips for Using Your Controller 
5.1  Driving - General 
Make sure that all the controls are within easy reach and are comfortable to operate. 
5.2  Driving Technique 
The controller interprets the throttle movements and reverse switch setting (if fitted) and drives the scooter in the correct direction 
at  the  appropriate  speed.  You  will  need  very  little  concentration  to  control  the  scooter,  which  is  especially  useful  if  you  are 
inexperienced. 
The further you push the throttle away from the rest position, the faster the scooter will go. 
The intelligent speed controller minimizes the effects of slopes and different types of terrain. 
The scooter user must be capable of driving a scooter safely. PGDT accepts no liability for losses 
of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition. 
6  Precautions for Use 
In the event of the scooter moving in an unexpected way RELEASE THE THROTTLE. This action will 
stop the scooter in any circumstances. 
6.1  Hazards 
Do not drive the scooter: 
  Beyond restrictions indicated in your scooter user manual, for example inclines, curb heights etc. 
  In places or on surfaces where a loss of wheel grip could be hazardous, for example on wet grassy slopes. 
  If you know that the controller or other crucial components require repair. 
Although the S-drive is designed to be extremely reliable and each unit is rigorously tested during 
manufacture, the possibility of system malfunction always exists (however small the probability). 
Under  some conditions  of  system  malfunction  the  controller  must  (for  safety  reasons)  stop  the 
scooter  instantaneously.  If  there  is  any  possibility  of  the  user  falling  out  of  the  scooter  as  a 
result of a sudden braking action, it is imperative that a restraining device such as a seat belt is 
supplied with the scooter and that  it is in use at all times when the scooter is in  motion.  PGDT 
accept no liability for losses of any kind arising from the unexpected stopping of the scooter, or 
arising from the improper use of the scooter or controller. 
Do  not  operate  the  S-Drive  if  the  scooter  behaves  erratically,  or  shows  abnormal  signs  of 
heating,  sparks  or  smoke.  Turn  the  S-Drive  off  at  once  and  consult  your  service  agent.  PGDT 
accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.  
Electronic  equipment  can  be  affected  by  Electro  Magnetic  Interference  (EMI).  Such  interference 
may be generated by radio stations, TV stations, other radio transmitters and cellular phones. If 
the  vehicle  exhibits  erratic  behavior  due  to  EMI,  turn  the  controller  off  immediately  and  consult 
your service agent. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply 
with this condition
. 
It  is  the  responsibility  of  the  scooter  manufacturer  to  ensure  that  the  scooter  complies  with 
appropriate  National  and  International  EMC  legislation.  PGDT  accepts  no  liability  for  losses  of 
any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
